How the Duke of Edinburgh Went on q
Spree and Was Punished for It.
An English naval officer, at present
in this city, gave your correspondent
an interesting little story. Prince AL
fred in 1862 was midshipman ON the
ST. George, to which vessel my in
formant was assigned at the time it was
in the Baltic Sea. The young Prince
had two existences. While he was
aboard he would be treated in just the
same manner as the other fellows of his
mess, and pranks were played upon
him as frequently as upon the rest.
But whenever he went ashore he was a
Prince of England. and went in state,
always accompanied by Major Cowell,
now Sir John Cowell, who was his
governor. One of the sublieutenants
would be obliged to steer the barge for
his Royal Highness. holding his hat in
his hand meanwhile.
1.-The very idea of a Lieutenant steer
ing the boat for young midshipman

Prince one day as they rowed to shore.
'.I'll make you pay for this when you
get aboard again.
'.Really can't help it; it's not my
fault" the lad replied. laughing.
The St. George was lying of Reval.

How Stephen A. Douglas Saved the LII
OF Joseph Smith.

How Stephen A. Douglas Saved the Life
| OF Joseph Smith.
He who is what Homer calls ..mas-
ter of men," has ''the will to do. the
soul to dare" His mastership shows
itself in an emergency by immediate
action. In Il crisis, he takes the re-
sponsibjlity and turns the scale. A
scene in the judicial career of the late
Stephen A. Douglas illustrates this sort
of mastership. When he was but
twenty-eight years of age, he was
elected one of the judges of the Su-
preme Court of Illinois. The circuit to
which he was assigned included the
Mormon settlements, and the constant
conflict between the saints" and the
'Gentilcs" often made his courthouse
battlefield.
1t happened that the Mormon leader,
Joseph Smith, was put on trial for
some criminal offense before Judge
Douglas. The people flocked to the
courthouse. anxious to see Smith con-
victed and punished. because they
thought him responsible for all the
crimes charged against the Mormons.
When it was whispered that the evil
dence would not secure a conviction, it
was proposed that the citizens should
enter the courthouse. seize Smith and
hang him. A gallows was hastily built
in the courthouse yard, and a bolster
Gus mob rushed into the courtroom
where the prisoner was about to be
tried.
"Sheriff," called out Judge Douglas,
as the mob crowded toward the place
where Smith sat, "clcar the room! The
proceedings of the court are inter-
rupted."
Gentlemen, You must keep order!
You had better retire." said the sheriff,
small. weak man, trying to carry out
the courts order.
Judge" said he. as the mob, in
stead Of retiring. kept crowding to-
wards the prisoner. 'they won't go
out, and can't make them"
Several of the ringleaders, stimulated
by the sheriff confession, jumped over
the bar and started to seize Smith.
They were arrested by Judge Douglas
rising and calling out to large Ken
tuckian, who stood six feet and half.
Il appoint you sheriff of this court.
Select as many deputies as you require.
Clear the courthouse. The law de-
mands it, and 1. as Judge of this court.
command you to enforce the law and
preserve the peace"
The suddenly-appointed sheriff obeycd
the Judges orders. Hastily calling
upon half dozen men to serve as dep
uties, he Knocked down three ringlead-
ers; his deputies pitched six more out
of the windows, and in few minutes
the courtroom was cleared of the mob,
who. seeing the fate of their leaders,
scampercd out of the door.
Judge Douglas prompt action pre-.
vented a murder and secured fair trial
to the prisoner. But he had assumed an
authority which did not belong to him.
As the duly-appointed sheriff was pres
ent. he had no legal right to appoint any
one to act rs sheriff. He knew that be-
fore he spoke, but moments delay
would have sealed Smiths fate. He
took the responsibility. and met the
emergency by the immediate action
which prevented a murder.-Y Youts's
